Top bass, that.  Great price.   USA pick-ups too if I'm not mistaken.

I've heard that about the pickups but I can't say for sure whether they are or not. I know at one point I was tempted to buy a set of used Lindy Fralins but realised that there really was no need cos the stock pickups sound great.

Cheers!

Those Carvin pre-amps are great. I have the B1000 as a backup and the eq is excellent.

Cheers Dan. Yeah, the eq certainly is powerful!

My old amp - wish I had the readies to buy it back - it's a tone MONSTER!!

Glwts mate!

Cheers fella!

It is indeed a monster! I wish I had the gigs to justify keeping it! I'd wanted one for long enough!

And sold...

And sold....

Great basses, these! I own one myself.

GLWTS

It is indeed, I may well shed a tear if it goes. Can't really justify keeping it, unfortunately.😥

Thanks for the kind words.

On hold pending the usual!

Replied!

On hold!

Another bargain. 

Indeed!

It is!

Carl Martin Classic Opto Compressor. In very good condition. Gets very good review from Ovnilabs.

£35 posted

Tri Logic ll bass preamp pedal, in great condition with Velcro on bottom. Same preamp that's fitted to those super sexy Xotic basses. Don't think they're made anymore and Bass Direct seem to have sold the last of their stock.

£70 posted.

SOLD! £385!

Continuing my cull due to seeming retirement from gigging.

Here we have the rare beast from Carvin, the B1500 monoblock amp. Serious tone and headroom machine, will drive whatever cab or cab combination you have absolutely effortlessly! 700 watts@8 ohms, 1250 watts@4 ohms and 1900 watts@2 ohms. I paired it with a Genz Benz NX2-212T cab and it was a great combination, never struggled for volume and never once saw the clip light flicker! 

Great 6 band eq and drive control, which adds thickness rather than overdrive (would have to say it is a very clean sounding amp). Comes with Stagg 4U flightcase which is in pretty much new condition.

Looking for £450 for it which is what I paid for it without the flightcase so effectively I'm throwing the case in for free! 

In great condition, worked faultlessly in the time I've had it. These come up very rarely so if you're looking for power get in quick!

REDUCED TO £385!!

No trades, thanks!

Right, final price drop! I won’t be going any lower and if still no takers I’ll be keeping it.

I put this up for sale earlier in the year but decided to keep it. Still not getting used so back up for sale she goes!

Fender CIJ Jazz Bass '62 Reissue, serial number puts it at 1999-2002. Great condition, has the odd ding and some buckle rash, as can be expected of a bass of this age. Plays, looks and sounds great, lovely low action, truss rod working perfectly, no issues. Currently wearing DR Nickel Low Riders which are a few years old. Comes with non Fender gig bag which is pretty new and also in very good nick. 

£500, no trades, thanks.

No bother, I may have to do some selling!

Absolutely no trades??

Mods, I give up! Feel free to remove....

Er....stick with me....uploading problems...

Hey!

here's a clip I made of me playing Joe Farrell's lovely flute solo from Chick Corea's tune "Friends" from the album of the same name on my Yamaha BB. It ain't perfect but it's as close as I could get! 

Enjoy!

You have to distinguish between 'entertainers' and musicians. There's a lot of pretty egoistic stuff on YouTube to wade through, and some of it is bxxxxy annoying, but as a learning resource it's still unequalled. Where else can you compare 8 bass players each doing their own covers of even fairly straightforward songs like Steely Dan's 'Josie' ?

The general standard of bass playing is so high now compared to the average player 20 years ago it still amazes me, and I think the internet is the main reason.

And some players are so good they don't need to go attention seeking - just check out anything where Rob Mullarkey is on the bass - what a supreme talent!

 

Yeah, I agree. Rob is fantastic.
